Queen's Development

Chapter 196
Yu Zhi brought Han Lin, Li Rui and A Lan to the foreign study.

She went straight to Lin Jia's desk, sat down on the brocade stool she used to sit on, and said in a deep voice: "Ah Qing, go and ask Ye Chunshan, Commander Ye, to come over!"

Ah Qing answered "yes" and stepped back.

Yuzhi looked at Li Rui again: "Li Rui, can you command the Yuyiwei?"

Li Rui glanced at Yuzhi, saw her calm expression, and then replied: "Yuyiwei has been controlled by me!"

After Yuzhi was sure, she looked at Alan again: "I heard that Qi Yunwu, the new shopkeeper of Yibaolou, is now in the East Guest House for interrogation, go and invite him over!"

Alan answered "yes" and stepped back.

Yuzhi had already made up her mind, she got up and went to the window, and pushed open the carved sandalwood window.

It was still raining outside, and the flowers and trees were wet.

Looking at the crystal raindrops outside, Yuzhi secretly made up her mind: I must avenge Ajia and make those who have done evil things pay the price!
About a quarter of an hour later, Ye Chunshan and Qi Yunwu, the shopkeeper of Yibaolou, arrived together, and they all saluted Yuzhi.

Li Rui also walked over and stood shoulder to shoulder with them.

Yuzhi sat there with bright eyes and a calm expression: "Your Excellency was assassinated by Guizhen Sect last night, and he is still unconscious. We want to avenge Your Excellency and completely eradicate the Guizhen Sect followers in the capital!"

Ye Chunshan, Qi Yunwu and Li Rui all answered "Yes".

Yu Zhi looked at Ye Chunshan: "Commander Ye, have all the gates of the capital been guarded and checked?"

Ye Chunshan hurriedly said: "Aunt Qi, last night, according to your lord's instructions, the forbidden army entered the gates of the city and used animal fat to tempt the Guizhen believers!"

Yuzhi nodded, and looked at Qi Yunwu: "Mr. Qi, can Yibaolou take people to the stronghold of Guizhen Sect?"

Qi Yunwu was a young man with a stern face. He thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Yibaolou should avenge the Lord and eliminate harm for the people of the capital!"

Only then did Yu Zhi look at Ye Chunshan: "Commander Ye, the five thousand elite soldiers that your lord asked you to transfer can now train in the capital!"

Ye Chunshan looked at Yuzhi: "Auntie means—"

Yuzhi said softly: "These five thousand elite forbidden troops are under your command. Follow the people from Yibaolou to the various strongholds of the Guizhen Sect to arrest the Guizhen Sect members. If anyone resists, they will be killed on the spot!"

Ye Chunshan thought for a moment, remembered Lin Jia's trust in Yuzhi, and finally answered "Yes".

Yuzhi didn't have any reason to ask him to take action, so she took out Lin Jia's token that she had prepared a long time ago and gave it to Ye Chunshan.

Ye Chunshan didn't hesitate any more, and immediately said in a deep voice, "Please let my lord wait for Ye's good news!"

Only then did Yuzhi look at Li Rui: "Li Rui, the arrested Guizhen believers will be interrogated and screened by Yu Yiwei!"

Li Rui cupped his hands and answered "Yes."

After Ye Chunshan and others left, Yuzhi took Han Lin to Tingsongyuan.

In the bedroom, Lin Jia had already woken up and was lying on her side with a soft pillow.

Because of the fever, he felt chills all over his body, and felt that the bones were cold.

Emperor Yongtai sat on the side of the bed and looked at him. Although Lin was pale, his phoenix eyes were as clear and calm as water, and he seemed to be in good condition.

He looked at Lin Jia, sighed, and said, "Ajia, don't be so reckless in the future!"

Lin Jia looked at Emperor Yongtai and said softly, "Father, I have an idea: how did Guizhen believers detonate gunpowder in the air? I set up a workshop to research gunpowder and arrow crossbows, but several years have passed , Gunpowder has never made any progress, if we can get the method of Guizhen Sect and apply it to weapons, our Da Zhou army will definitely be invincible!"

Emperor Yongtai looked at Lin Jia without saying a word.

Lin Jia moved her body, pulled the wound on her back, made a "hiss" in pain, and took a breath.

Emperor Yongtai was very distressed, and had no way to replace Lin Jia, so he could only sigh and stand up to help Lin Jia change her posture.

Yang Wenli stood aside and did not step forward to help.

At this time, His Majesty is afraid that he wants to personally take care of Mr. Jian Guo, why should he step forward and get in the way?

Lin Jia changed to lying on the bed, and then said: "Last night, I had people blockade all the gates of the capital, and today I searched the whole city to catch the thugs of Guizhen Sect and find out how to ignite gunpowder without using flint. "

Emperor Yongtai naturally had no objection, seeing Lin Jia's lips turning pale, he hurriedly ordered: "Bring a cup of warm water over here!"

Yuzhi was waiting outside, poured a cup of warm water, and handed it to Yang Wen who came out to serve the water.

Yang Wen handed the white porcelain tea cup to the trusted little eunuch, and asked the little eunuch to send it in.

He glanced at Yuzhi, saw that her face was pale and looked haggard, but her eyes were clear, her lips were bright red, and she was in good spirits, so he said softly: "Aunt Yu, Your Excellency just woke up and was talking with His Majesty!"

Yuzhi knew that Emperor Yongtai didn't know how to take care of people, so she took out the red gold thermos filled with hot water, handed it to Eunuch Yang, and said in a low voice: "Your Excellency has a high fever, you may feel cold, if Eunuch Yang goes in , please put this in your arms."

Yang Wen took the red gold thermos, and found that a stack of silver bills was handed over with the thermos.

Holding the warm red gold thermos, he unfolded the stack of banknotes without any trace, stuffed them into his sleeve pocket with satisfaction, then glanced at Yuzhi, and thought: This Aunt Yu seems to be in control of the house. Li's financial power, this move is 6000 taels of silver bills!
Yuzhi smiled slightly: "Please, father-in-law!"

Yang Wen nodded with a smile, seeing that the little eunuch had lifted the beaded curtain on the bedroom door, he went straight into the bedroom.

Emperor Yongtai is feeding Lin Jia to drink water.

He has never served anyone in his life, but half of a cup of warm water was spilled by him.

Lin Jia looked helpless, and when she saw Yang Wen coming in, she said, "Father, let Yang Wen feed me!"

Emperor Yongtai looked confident: "I will feed you water myself!"

Seeing Emperor Yongtai's self-confidence and insisting on feeding Lin Jia water himself, Yang Wen couldn't help but pursed his lips and smiled, walked over and stuffed the red gold thermos into Lin Jia's arms: "My lord, Aunt Yu asked you to bring it in!"

Hearing Yang Wen mention Yuzhi, Lin Jia's expression softened: "Is she outside?"

Yang Wen answered "Yes" with a smile.

Enduring the pain, Lin Jia looked up at Emperor Yongtai: "Father, it's time for me to drink the medicine. You can go and see A Yin, and take A Yin away by the way. You take it with you for a while. I'm too busy here..."

Emperor Yongtai originally wanted to show his father's love, but when Lin Jia mentioned that he wanted him to take A Yin away, he immediately got up and said, "A Jia, drink your medicine, I'll go and see little A Yin!"

When Emperor Yongtai went out, Lin Jia lay down on the bed and closed her eyes.

He had such a high fever that his bones ached, and he was able to speak to Emperor Yongtai with all his strength.

Even lying there, Lin Jia could clearly hear Emperor Yongtai ordering: "Bring the female doctor, nanny and maidservants who are serving A Yin, and arrange them to live in the side hall of Yutang Hall, and bring A Yin's clothes too... ..."

The corners of Lin Jia's mouth twitched slightly, feeling amused in his heart.

At this time, Yuzhi came in with Han Lin and Ye Ling.

Han Lin used a tray to hold a teacup containing medicinal soup, and in Ye Ling's hand was a snow jade plate, and inside the plate was a stack of hot white towels.

Seeing Lin Jia lying on the bed, Yu Zhi hurriedly walked over to lift the brocade quilt to look at Lin Jia's wound. Seeing that there was no suppuration, she felt relieved, hugged Lin Jia, and put him in a side-lying position.

Lin Jia reluctantly opened her eyes, seeing that it was Yu Zhi, she immediately felt wronged: "Yu Zhi, it's so hard, you stay with me..."

Yu Zhi was made to feel uncomfortable by Lin Jia, so she forced a smile and said, "You drink the medicine first, and I will accompany you!"

Lin Jia was not afraid of hardship, and drank all the medicinal soup.

Yuzhi handed the empty cup to Han Lin, and wiped the corners of Lin Jia's mouth with a hot towel. After Han Lin and Ye Ling retreated, she lifted the brocade quilt and lay down with Lin Jia.

Lin Jia leaned against Yuzhi and whispered, "Yuzhi, my bones hurt..."

Yuzhi deliberately avoided Lin Jia's wound, stroked Lin Jia's back lightly, and told her what to do today.

Lin Jia closed her eyes and thought about it, and after listening, she said, "You've done a good job, this matter can't be delayed any longer, lest you have long nights and dreams, but you have to tell Li Rui again, let Yu Yiwei ask Guizhen believers how to self-destruct with gunpowder. did it..."

Yuzhi agreed, got up and went out to ask Li Fanxing to find Li Rui to pass the message, and then went back to the bedroom to lie down with Lin Jia.

The medicinal soup contained sleeping ingredients, and under Yuzhi's gentle touch, Lin Jia fell asleep in a while.

In the evening, Emperor Yongtai went back to the palace with Ah Yin and the people who waited on him, and Songyuan suddenly fell silent.

Yuzhi accompanied Mr. Liu to check on Lin Jia's injuries, and after hearing Mr. Liu said there was nothing serious, she felt relieved and sat by the bed to look at Lin Jia.

Lin Jia had lost some weight in the past two days, and her outline became more handsome. At this time, she fell asleep with her eyes closed, her eyelashes cast shadows on her eyelids by the soft light.

Yuzhi was gently stroking Lin Jia's face when she heard Li Fanxing's voice from outside: "Aunt Qi, Mrs. Jiang is here with three cousin girls!"
